We detected hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in tears and aqueous humor of 18 patients who upon preliminary examination were seropositive for HBsAg and were scheduled to undergo cataract extractions. HBsAg remained detectable in the serum of 10 of these patients on the day of operation, and of these, 7 were found to have detectable levels of HBsAg in their tears and aqueous humor. Based on our findings, we caution ophthalmologists to take all the necessary precautions in both surgical and nonsurgical treatment of patients at high risk for hepatitis B infection.
我们在18名初步检查乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)血清学呈阳性且计划接受白内障摘除手术的患者的眼泪和房水中检测到了HBsAg。在手术当天,其中10名患者的血清中仍可检测到HBsAg,在这10名患者中,有7名患者的眼泪和房水中也检测到了可检测水平的HBsAg。基于我们的研究结果,我们提醒眼科医生,在对乙肝感染高危患者进行手术和非手术治疗时,要采取一切必要的预防措施。
